Alright so before I did fresh start I had diamond shottys, smg, ar, lmg, pistols, and launchers. All were pretty much equal in difficulty with the exception of a few ( executioner, last shotgun). Ok, I went for snipers at one point, but that damn ballista had me stuck at 4 bloodthirstys for about a month before I gave up. I HATE sniping, I suck at it, in all cods. With that being said.... The SVU was BY FAR the easiest and quickest gun to get gold. In my opinion, which I'm almost convinced is fact...the SVU is the best gun in the game. If I could easily "snipe" with gun than anyone can.

no he means Opinion. its your opinion that that gun is best for HC. just like its my opinion that HC should be renamed. Any weapon works in HC, but a pistol and a weapon with a decent RoF will do the job. I prefer my type 25.

Basically what I'm saying is that I'm THE WORST sniper. But the SVU was the easiest gun to gold. Put an acog on it and its a run n gunners dream. I know it's my opinion. This post was made in jest because I don't take it too seriously. But I do, and have played this game a ton so I though I would share.

I don't snipe. I hate the long scopes, and I can't see what's going on. That being said, the SVU is the only sniper rifle I use, mostly because I suck at sniping and it's semi-auto instead of bolt-action.

But as a novice COD player (BOII is my first ever), the only weapon that I unlocked Gold camo for before I maxed it out on Prestige 2 was the Peacekeeper. Easiest gun to use ever.

M27 better than a SWAT? That has to be a joke. The M27 is the weakest AR in the game. Yes it is accurate, but so is the SWAT as a burst gun.

The problem with the SWAT is also its strength... It will kill in one burst at just about any range IF all three bullets in that burst hit, this is totally out of your control and makes the burst guns very inconsistent.

in LP just about every master rank I have encountered recently has been using the M8A1. kinda annoying to gte one burst but then again... I was a m16 whore in CoD4

You just said the SVU with Acog is a run and gunners dream? A SNIPER Rifle, used for Run and Gunning?! See, thats the problem, its a SNIPER RIFLE not an assault rifle! Oh yeah its easy to snipe cuz if you miss the first 4 or 5 times, you still only got like 10 more shots before you need to reload and usually still get a OHK. NO SKILL SVU

My opinion. If you think the SVU is the best gun, then you think camping and noobtubing are good tactics too.

If your good at sniping, you can manage to use a bolt action, one shot one kill, not Bang miss, bang miss bang crap missed, miss miss miss, HIT! Whoo hooo! Got you mother lover! And then they complain that an FAL or SMR is OP.

Even with iron sights it would not be the best gun in the game. I routinely destroy svu spammers with the smr or fal or my lsat lmg or just about any other gun. The svu is far from the best gun in the game by any means, just very easy to spam is all.

That is your view and not fact and never was. The svu is easily outclassed in hc by the fal or smr for ease of killing and spamability. Many other guns can easily out peform the svu if they are used by skillful players. So no the svu is not the best gun in hc ever. it is just easy to use, which does not make it the best gun ever.

I agree the SVU is the easiest and quickest sniper to get gold. I chose to play HC for the SVU camo challenges because it's a one shot kill all the time. I was able to get 3 bloodthirsty medals in one game.

One of the best spots I found when leveling up the SVU in HC was on Studio. Standing back by trailer looking across into the tunnel that goes to the mini-city. Position yourself so you're looking through the gaps between the wood slats of the hut in the middle, and you'll see them coming as soon as they turn the corner to come up the tunnel. Spam away, the wood won't stop your bullets.

It helps to have one guy covering the other end of the trailers and another in tavern looking in front of the trailers, too. You're kind of a sitting duck otherwise for anyone running behind/through/in front of the trailers or from the middle building.

Good teamwork can get through these defenses, of course, but with the myriad of uncoordinated teams out there, racking up kills and camos is quite easy.

Agree. Never had such a good time on Studio until I sniped in HC, especially with the SVU. I usually run solo, so It works well if the spawns are in place, but need to keep eyes in the back of my head.

Peacekeeper hands-down. It has all of the good traits of SMGs and adds in some of the power of ARs. It's mt go-to weapon when I am having a tough game with whatever it is that I am trying to "gold" at the time.

I thought all weapons were pretty much 1-2 hk in hardcore . Im guessin your saying the svu since it has distance but in hardcore you could be killed by a pistol just as easily. Hardcore to me is basically who's first to draw and hit.

The peacekeeper is the most lethal gun in hardcore hands down. Its good in all situations. Thats why its the most popular gun used in hc! However, due to you being able to use any gun in hc and do well its down to personal preference. I personally love the m8 over anything. I also like the type 25, m27 and even the skorpian every now and then!
